The Benefits of Using Heating Oil
Get all the advantages the fuel has to offer with Fraticelli Oil & Propane
Countless homeowners here in both central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, as well as nationwide, count on heating oil to stay warm, comfortable and safe throughout the winters. However, there is so much more that the fuel can do. In addition to heating homes, heating oil can also heat commercial spaces, nursing homes, retail businesses, government buildings, apartment buildings, schools and medical facilities.
Not only is heating oil a reliable fuel for heating purposes, but it can also power metal processers that are used in the manufacturing industry and industrial boilers that are used within the food and beverage, agricultural and manufacturing industries. Clearly, heating oil is quite versatile and that is just one of many of the fuel’s advantages.
Reasons to consider heating oil over other fuels
In addition to versatility, heating oil offers homeowners and business owners the below benefits:
- It is considered safe: As long as heating oil is in a liquid form it is not flammable or explosive so customers can rest easy when it comes to this. On top of this, heating oil tanks come equipped with specific safety features.
- It has advanced in terms of eco-friendliness: The heating oil that is being made and used today has low levels of sulfur, which makes it more environmentally friendly than ever before. Here at Fraticelli Oil & Propane we offer our customers efficient, clean-burning Bioheat® fuel.
- It helps a heating system work efficiently: Modern oil-powered boilers and furnaces are more effective at heating than older models are. This helps a home heat up at a faster speed, which ends up saving a homeowner fuel.
- You get full control: When you use natural gas to heat your home you are dependent on a utility for heat. This means that if there is a problem with your local utility you could find yourself without working heat. On the other hand, using heating oil gives a homeowner complete control and energy independence.
- Your heating system is powerful: Heating oil burns significantly hotter than natural gas. One single gallon of heating oil produces about 138,500 British Thermal Units of heat energy, which makes it a strong and reliable source of heat.
- It helps with your heater’s longevity: Compared to a natural gas-powered system, a heating system that is powered with heating oil typically lasts longer in addition to costing less.
